Will taking a career break affect my pension?
Answer
A career break is not counted as pensionable service so taking a career break can affect an employee’s pension. The impact of a career break on an employee’s pension is dependent upon the pension scheme they are a member of and their own personal circumstances. The University recommends that employees who are interested in a career break discuss with their HR Partner in the first instance to find out how taking a career break may affect their pension before applying.
